An Early Grave

(Michael Facciani)

This lyric is about a guy who is unhappy with the direction of his life, but try as he may, he is unable to correct the course, and he finally realizes he’s on a downhill slope and might be coming to the end of the road.

Happiness and prosperity is outta reach
So let’s cruise down to the beach
And watch the beautiful girls go by
They look so good I could just die

Later I go home alone again
Feel like my journeys coming to an end
The future seems unclear
As I sit here drinking my beer

In the land of the free and the home of the brave
I’m digging myself an early grave

I gaze out the window and wonder
Have I made too many blunders
I stopped short of the goal line
Now I’m running out of time

The hope of yesterday has turned into darkness and despair
Don’t know if I wanna face another day
I’m not sure if I even care
Got emptiness in my mind, soul, and heart
Wanna fill it up, but don’t know where to start

Alcohol and drugs only provide a temporary solution
The next morning I got pain and confusion
In the land of the free and the home of the brave
I’m digging myself an early grave

White Dopes On Punk

By Michael Facciani

This song is about serious, die-hard punk rock devotees who don’t want to hear anything else except their favorite, particular genre of music. There is a song called “White Punks On Dope” by The Tubes. Thought I’d rearrange the title and write my own lyrics for a different song.

The Weatherman

By Laura Åkerblom

We've all been caught in the rain and, at some point in our lives, most of us have gone from looking great to looking like drowned rats very fast. The story in these lyrics happened to a very close friend of mine (a version of it) and I couldn't stop laughing. Which just got her even more upset. Which made me laugh even more.
